About Nickel & Nickel 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Branding Iron Vyd., Oakville
The Far Niente owners founded Nickel & Nickel to produce extraordinary single vineyard Napa Valley Cabs. Each is a very low production wine from a unique sub-appellation in Napa Valley. The winery is located near the Oakville Crossroad and several of their best vineyards are in the Oakville AVA, including Branding Iron. This 8-1/2 acre vineyard is in a prime location across the street from Opus One and down the road from Heitz Martha's Vineyard. It's comprised of well-drained clay loam and the area's warm climate and ideal sun exposure allow for the perfect slow ripening of the fruit. This wine from the outstanding 2019 vintage is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 17 months in 48% new French oak barrels.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored this 95 points saying "This is a structured, earthy and herbal red that shows stone-like texture and grip. Sharp, tangy red fruit complements a core of rounded, lengthy tannin, dust and dark cherry, leading to a finishing accent of cedar that lasts for days."
Wine Spectator scored this 91 points saying "Juicy, ripe and forward, with a fun burst of plum sauce and blackberry preserve flavors mixed with notes of red licorice and a toasted vanilla. Offers a rounded, polished feel through the finish. Drink now through 2030."
